GrowGeneration Signs Lease to Open New 10,000 Sq. Ft. Facility in Maine

GrowGeneration Enters 8^th State, with 20^th Location

DENVER, Dec. 11, 2018 - GrowGeneration Corp. (OTCQX: GRWG), (“GrowGen” or the “Company”) the largest specialty retail hydroponic and organic gardening chain of stores, selling to both the commercial and home cannabis markets, with currently 19 locations, today announced it signed a lease to open a new 10,000 square foot cultivation equipment warehouse operation and product showroom in Maine, to service the legal cannabis cultivators in the State of Maine. The Company plans to be open for business in early 2019. The Maine store will be the company’s 20^th location across 8 states.   

Darren Lampert, Co-Founder and CEO, said, “Maine becomes GrowGen’s 8^th State and 20^th store. As a recreational legal market, with a large number of caregiver growers, Maine is a market that GrowGen can quickly generate significant sales. Each caregiver is allowed to cultivate up to 30 plants, which has created a market of over 90,000 plants to service and maintain. We continue to enter markets, where the cultivation laws are conducive to growing, and where GrowGen can strategically locate its operations in areas where there is a high concentration of growers. Our growth plan is working.”
